A more critical difference, from the user standpoint, is the requirement by OpenCellID for all observation sets to be uploaded with a user identifier. This is a significant difference in privacy expectations. It is possible, though against the grain of the OpenCellID design and a pain for the developer since the API is poorly defined, to request a new OpenCellID frequently (even using a bogus email), thereby obscuring the user's actually identity. Since MozLocServ seems to be moving to requiring upload keys as well (though at the app level, not the user level), you are clearly also considering some kind of upload tagging.
MozStumbler's API key is a compile-time parameter to note who compiled that MozStumbler build. Mozilla has no plans to add upload tagging or user tracking. MozStumbler uses opt-in, non-authenticated nicknames and our leaderboard stores the nicknames and points in a separate database from uploaded measurements to avoid any connection between the data.
